Those pics would have come in handy a few years ago when I was painting my 1/18th-scale Fiero model. I spent a lot of time painting and "rusting" the underneath of it but was mostly going by memory.
That red cross-brace there by the fuel tank adds 5 HP don't you know. Because it's red!
Looks good, most midwest/northeastern'ers with love to have that, doesn't surprise me for being a So Cal car. I bought a 71 VW out of So Cal years ago and the undercarriage was mint.
My Fiero is from Colorado and I was shocked at the condition of the underside, even the yellow paint on the control arms looks new, pretty remarkable for a 36-year-old car with 80,000 miles...
I spent as much time sanding my inner guards and under the car. One thing i am proud of is my install of my custom body kit it doesn't have any daggy bits and my undercarriage looks pretty good apart from a few marks on cooling piples. Too low to get a camera under it.

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious? Is that a manual ? If so is Is that a clutch line that I see? If so? Is that the factory location? I will converting from a Auto to Manual.

It's a manual 4-speed, and when I bought it the clutch line had been replaced with a braided line. I don't know if that's the factory location.
That is not the factory routing on the clutch hydraulic line.
The clutch line follows a path similar to the long brake line that runs front to back on the passenger side - just mirror imaged so it fits on the driver side.
